TL;DR · Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer

The Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer leads the development and architecture of scalable, container-based services to build, validate, and monitor liquid-cooled GPU infrastructure across factory environments. This role involves developing secure infrastructure, control-plane workflows, and data-plane test capabilities to orchestrate manufacturing test lifecycles, operator workflows, and business reporting for platforms including GB200 and MI455. Key responsibilities include automating GPU test validation, managing firmware and hardware configurations, and designing fault-tolerant distributed systems with high-throughput data paths. The engineer must utilize proficiency in Java, C++, C#, or Go to implement Infrastructure as Code and operational automation. The work focuses on establishing manufacturing yield and deployment-readiness metrics to reduce rework and accelerate reliable hyperscale AI infrastructure delivery while ensuring multi-tenant cloud security and compliance.

What you'll do

  • Architect and lead the development of scalable, container-based services for liquid-cooled GPU infrastructure.
  • Develop secure infrastructure and control-plane workflows to orchestrate manufacturing test lifecycles and business reporting.
  • Automate GPU test validation and manage consistent firmware, software, and hardware configurations.
  • Design and optimize high-throughput data paths for large-scale retrieval, storage, and processing.
  • Build Infrastructure as Code and operational automation for safe patching, updates, and change management.
  • Establish service-level objectives, telemetry, and proactive alerting for critical distributed systems.
  • Lead production incident diagnosis, root-cause analysis, and performance testing to ensure operational readiness.
  • Apply robust security controls and encryption for multi-tenant cloud infrastructure.

What we're looking for

  • Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years of professional software-engineering experience with demonstrated impact on large-scale distributed systems or cloud infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in one or more object-oriented or systems programming languages such as Java, C++, C#, or Go.
  • Deep understanding of distributed-systems design, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, and secure software-development practices.
  • Experience with system-level test automation, performance/load testing, reliability engineering, and production incident response.
  • Demonstrated experience leading or influencing technical architecture and mentoring engineers.
  • Experience with Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or other large-scale cloud platforms (preferred).
